They may be saying this so Michelle Obama gets onto the ticket, I thought I heard Kamala Harris is racially mixed and that doesn't include black heritage technically speaking.  As opposed to what someone said in the forums, I don't think people would vote for Michelle Obama unless the other part of the ticket was very dynamic.  The media has done everything for her, that's true.
